Display settings on your television or monitor will need to be adjusted in steps as you progress
through the calibration process. It’s very simple and doesn’t take long. If at any time a mistake is
made, you can easily select ‘back’ and repeat a step.
1 Optimizing Monitor Settings
Before starting the calibration procedure, you will need to open your monitor or
television’s menu and change a few settings.
1.1 In the menus on your monitor, switch off all options for dynamic contrast and brightness.
Many TV manufacturers include a mode called motion smoothing, motionflow or
motion interpolation. Please disable this mode.
1.2 Set the gamma to 2.4 for Rec. 709 or 2.6 for DCI-P3. These two color spaces are
designed for standard home television viewing and digital cinema distribution, so your
choice will depend on your project’s delivery requirements. For example, if you are
delivering to YouTube for home television viewing, set the gamma to 2.4. If monitoring
for cinema distribution via DCP delivery, set the gamma to 2.6.
2 Connecting the Calibration Probe
Now that your monitor or television has its settings optimized for calibration, connect
the calibration probe to your Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR’s USB-C port. Lift the
rubber dust cover to access the USB-C port.
3 Starting the Calibration Process
3.1 On the ‘home’ screen, press the ‘menu’ button. Use the rotary knob to scroll to the
‘color calibration’ menu and press ‘set’.
3.2 Press ‘set’ to see the list of supported calibration probes. Options are ‘i1 Display Pro’,
‘SpectraCal C6’ and ‘Klein K-10-A’. Use the rotary knob to scroll through the list and
highlight your probe, then press ‘set’ to confirm your selection.
3.3 On the ‘color calibration’ menu, use the rotary knob to highlight ‘color space’ and press
‘set’. Select a color space based on your monitor type and press ‘set’.
3.4 On the ‘color calibration’ menu, scroll down to the ‘target gamma’ option and press ‘set’.
Specify the ‘target gamma’ value to match your monitor or TV and press ‘set’.
Gamma 2.4 is recommended for Rec. 709 and 2.6 is recommended for DCI-P3.
